HBO's new hit show "Boardwalk Empire" finished its first season last weekend, and NJ.com users were active in commenting on the episode, as they've always been.

NJ.com user wesrow was a great commenter all season long and had frequent insightful thoughts about the finale - and not just about the plot, but the production as well.

In discussing the finale, wesrow wrote:

Wonderful alternative opening credit sequence. I loved the old photos and clips, but is the music a little too upbeat for the theme of the show?

Wesrow, a frequent commenter on TV show recaps, engaged in back-and-forth discussion with other users and bloggers. Wesrow thoughtfully noticed a key piece of information that had not been mentioned, to which The Star-Ledger's Anthony Venutolo responded by pointing out a great catch:

You failed to mention how ironic it was that Nucky wanted 1 million dollars from Arnold Rothestein, which is the exact amount Rothestein would of collected off the life insurance policies of the two De Alessio brothers who signed the policies in an earlier episode, leaving rothestein as the beneficiary. (Each policy was for $500,000)
What wonderful writing in the series. Especially the integration of historical events into the storyline.

Thanks again to wesrow for the great comments all season long, and especially on the finale.
